Ben Worthen, WSJ: Oracle President Charles Phillips said Thursday that he had a long-running relationship with a woman whose picture seemingly appears alongside his on billboards in New York and other cities.

“I had an 8 ½ year serious relationship with YaVaughnie Wilkins,” Phillips said in a statement. “My divorce proceedings began in 2008. The relationship with Ms. Wilkins has since ended and we both wish each other well.”
